When Maverick ejected at Mach 10.5, he was going 7,000 mph, giving him 400 million joules of kinetic energy — the explosive power of 100 kg of TNT. A situation that human physiology is not designed to survive.

So, no. Maverick does not walk away from this. He be dead. Very dead.

@DirtyDog650 Where is this?!

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

While everybody is arguing & fighting over all manner of terrestrial issues, @NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirect Mission (DART) slams a space probe into an asteroid’s moonlet today. Consider it practice, deflecting killer asteroids that might head our way.

Let’s play which whitefish species do we have here and how do you know? Hint: Alaska. 📸 T. Liebich

Visited Hoonah, Alaska (near Juneau) to check out large woody habitat additions and fish passage improvement opportunities on salmon and trout streams. Great restoration work in an amazing place #fishhabitat #fishpassage2021 #USFS #USFWS #HIA

Zebra mussels eradicated fro a Texas lake by smothering them with a plastic sheet, as reported in @InFishermanMag. Small-scale invasion, but very interesting

Dam removals to "bend the curve" for fish population trends. Nice energy article on restoration by Forbes! #fishpassage

Awesome to see our Fisheries paper on mercury exposure among WI anglers based on fish consumption preferences is getting some traction! #Top20Article. https://t.co/8v78tvttcM

These 4 trout spp. were all sampled from the same log jam in a L. Superior headwater stream. Protecting these areas is critical as they essentially are nature provided fish hatcherys! This photo also displays the ever growing competition faced by native brook trout.

@dray_Carl @droglenc @WDNR @dray_Carl My co worker Evan recently found one. He has a pic I can dig up but it was caught near the marina 3 weeks ago.

[World Fish Migration Day @fishmigration]

Let's not forget the migratory fish and the problems they face on their journey! Especially today on #worldwildlifeday!

(This cartoon by @sepponet is part of a new version of the From Sea to Source book launched on #worldfishmigrationday!)

@WiscLimnology's Peter McIntyre is leading a @UWGlobalHealth seminar about mercury pollution in fish and the effect on populations on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.

[Andy Stevens @FishMcgillis]

Eat fish? Check out some of my graduate work w Pete McIntre on fish consumption & species driven Hg exposure on Madison area Lakes!

Highlights from last ice fishing season spanning Lake Superior, Mille Land, Red and more! It was a wild ride.

@DrKatfish @DrFishSG @UWiscSeaGrant @WildlifeBioGal @ReelAngle @SolomonRDavid @donaldorth @ericrsails I've had one temporarily in my aquarium and watching them is quite entertaining. They are almost pike like in their wait and launch predator behavior.
